Pearls

Pearls of life lying on the ocean floor

winds of change and tears that from my eyes fall

 say you love me when the savage  wind calls

wake me from the sorrow of ice cold shores

 

dreaming  I have walked with you at my side

waltzing in time holding touching the sky

sometimes a fall  yet we would always glide

Beyond the grey misery we would fly  

 

dwelling in paradise adorned with gems

 stone worn by  kings blunting a poison pen

The past is gone and the future is when

we still the pain, bleeding hearts and then

 

life will find us on the dark ocean floor

life will find us bringing us to the shore

The pearls of life, meanwhile pearl through the many years on the deep and darken seabed, But the end is in sight ... There are miracles ... I feel the positivity in your ending, beautiful moon. The structure too. It has a special touch...

Lovely.

This makes me think of how long it takes for a speck of sand to become a pearl. I think, too, of the ones I have seen that were not fully formed and for some reason had been taken too soon. The pearls that are allowed to age, grow, develop in those dark places are the ones most valuable and beautiful. Thank you for painting with your pen and heart.

Especially like those last two lines.

I read this last week but was unable to type. This is one of my favorite poems you have written. The metaphors and images painted are a wonderful, yet stark reminder of of how meaningful blessed relationships are. A pearl is a beautiful thing, Moon. You have woven its' symbolic beauty into an emotional piece of truth dripping with pearls of wisdom....

Very pretty and delicate words flow through the lines...as a petal floating softly to earth. Beautiful poem!

You know, I think many times over, life both drags us down to the depths and brings us back to dry land. But pearls live at the bottom, and somehow I think, they are there to show us that beauty survives no matter what is going on at the surface. I love the imagery, Moon. We can not find the pearls without braving the storm. So beautifully done!

Beautiful and meaningful lines that reflect wonderful images of togetherness. I like the relevance of the title to the last lines - it gave such an impact to the theme.
